About this design
Pepper mill shows a mill set at an angle, outlined with a thick brown line, its pale body marked by soft pink bands and one touch of sage green, with a small crank on top. A few rounded peppercorns are scattered around it. The look is gentle and illustrative, like a coloured sketch, in white, brown, pale pink and sage green.
At 60 × 70 mm it sits nicely on a kitchen towel, an apron pocket or a zip pouch. Pick a plain, fairly light fabric so the brown outline stands out, and add a tear-away stabiliser under thin cottons: this machine embroidery of 8675 stitches then stays crisp.
How to stitch it
- Prepare 5 threads: white, brown, pale pink, sage green, brown. The names give the closest shade; pick the one you like in your thread brand.
- Hoop the fabric in a 10 × 10 cm hoop with a stabiliser: tear-away for woven fabric (cotton, linen, canvas), cut-away for stretchy fabric (T-shirt, sweatshirt, bodysuit).
- Stitch the colours in this order: white → brown → pale pink → sage green → brown → white → brown. The machine stops at each thread change (6 changes, 39 trims).
- Allow about 17 minutes at 700 stitches per minute, 8,675 stitches in all.
- For another size, open the design in the studio rather than enlarging it on the machine: the stitches are recalculated and the density stays right.
